Front +2″ FJ Cruiser Long Travel Kit | Toyota FJ Cruiser

Description

Experience the best of both worlds with the Dirt King +2″ FJ Cruiser long travel kit – enhanced off-road performance without compromising day-to-day comfort. This kit adds 2” of width per side, allowing for more than a 25% increase in suspension travel while still being compatible with stock fenders when paired with a zero or positive offset wheel and 33” tires. For a more aggressive look, zero or negative offset wheels and 35” tires can be used in combination with flared fenders.

This suspension system extends the wheelbase, allowing for proper fitment of 35” tires. Our design philosophy focused on creating a durable, low-maintenance system. To achieve this, we chose the new greaseless SilentSpin bushings for the upper control arms and Delrin bushings infused with PTFE for smooth operation on the lower control arms. Heavy-duty Moog ball joints ensure reliability at the outer pivots, and replaceable aluminum skid plates protect the lower arms on rough trails.

All essential mounting hardware is provided, and the kit supports multiple installation setups, whether you opt for coilovers only, coilovers with bypasses, or coilovers with bump stops. To accommodate the bump stops, the control arms feature an aluminum strike pad mounted to the bypass tabs, engaging at the optimal point throughout the suspension cycle.

What does all of this mean? The Dirt King +2” long travel kit will equip your truck for exciting adventures on trails and in the desert. Contact our knowledgeable sales team for any questions or assistance in putting together a complete parts list to achieve your dream build.

4WD

To achieve the full amount of travel on 4WD models you must install the 1” diff drop kit and machine the inner CV’s for more articulation. We offer several services for machining CV’s and complete axle assembly Click here to view the services we offer and additional information on CV machining.

Shocks

For the best performance and to achieve the full amount of travel you must purchase our spec built shocks or have them custom built based on our coil over spec sheet. You may also use FJ Cruiser OEM replacement coil overs (Dirt King, Dobinsons, King, Fox, Icon) with 1.5” wide lower eyelet spacers with ½” mounting holes, to achieve desired ride height you may need to increase preload or go to a higher spring rate. For the OEM replacement coil overs to achieve proper collapse length you will want to run a 3/8″ spacer. These shocks will work but limit the amount of wheel travel. The OEM replacement coil overs include reservoir mounts that may not be compatible with our double shear kit option. Our long travel kit is also tabbed to accommodate bypass shocks.  The bypass shocks will allow for superior suspension dampening and tunability. To mount the bypasses we offer a weld on bypass shock hoop kit (DK-811710) that can be purchased separately. The bypass shock hoop kit requires welding and modifications to the frame. For extreme off-roading the kit has the ability to accept bump stops or bypass along with the coil overs. The use of bump stops will also require welding and modifications to the frame.

FJ Cruiser Long Travel Kit Wheel Travel

When shopping long travel kits many consumers tend to focus just on travel numbers. This is the reason many companies claim inaccurate numbers or don’t disclose the amount of work involved to achieve these numbers. Our goal is to build a suspension system with the highest amount of wheel travel without requiring major modifications to the vehicle or compromising its overall drivability.
